Professional Teeth Whitening FAQs
It is always best to consult with a dental professional regarding teeth whitening. Please read through our frequently asked questions about teeth whitening. You can reach out to use if you have further questions.
What is the difference between professional whitening treatment and store bought whitening products?
At-home, store bought teeth whitening takes repeated treatments that is much less dramatic than the results from professional teeth whitening. Results are inconsistent and can result in sensitive teeth and gums. In office professional whitening is a one-time treatment that occurs every couple of months to a year for the longest-lasting results.
Does whitening teeth harm the surface of teeth?
Whitening teeth does not permanently damage the surface and enamel of teeth. It may irritate the gum and your teeth may be more sensitive to temperature because of it, but this is temporary. This can be expected as the process requires special bleach being applied to the surface of teeth. Temporary sensitivity will subside in a couple of days.
Can teeth whitening remove all types of stains?
Teeth whitening is most effective at removing stains located on the surface of your teeth. These types of stains, known as extrinsic stains, are caused by coffee, tea, tobacco, or certain foods. Stains located on the interior of the tooth, known as intrinsic stains, are much harder to remove. They are from taking certain medications or dental conditions. Your dentist may recommend other cosmetic treatments to address intrinsic stains.
Are there any side effects of professional teeth whitening?
Professional teeth produces less sides effects and is safer than store bought whitening products. The temporary sides effects may include tooth sensitivity or mild gum tissue discomfort. For most patients, it is mild and will only last for a few days. Contact our office if these side effects are severe or persistent.
Does everyone qualify for professional teeth whitening?
Most people can get professional teeth whitening. However, your dentist may want you to avoid it if you have certain dental conditions. Patients with extremely sensitive teeth, gum disease, or tooth decay should avoid tooth whitening. If you have questions about whether or not you qualify, please consult with your dentist.
What other treatments will help me achieve whiter teeth?
Since not everyone will qualify for teeth whitening or may have stains that teeth whitening cannot treat, we also offer other ways to achieve whiter teeth. Porcelain veneers are thin shells that your dentist will bond to the front of your teeth to produce a uniform, brilliant smile. They can hide any cosmetic issue with your teeth including difficult stains. We also offer tooth bonding. This treatment is much more affordable however the results will not last as long.
